Objectworld awards and Accolades• “...SMB organizations tend to look askance at vendors who show up with products that
require them to rip and replace things they have today that are working. Instead, what they prefer is a model that allows them to embrace something new that extends their capabilities. A good example of something that fits that model is a new unified communications offering from Objectworld Communications.”

Some Customer Comments“As a call center-driven company receiving 300-400 calls per day, I can’t have my phone system go down. With Mitel, the cost/benefit ratio was too low to justify the high price and to be frank, Asterisk was an IT administration gong show. Objecwtorld UC Server is excellent, and Objectworld’s after sales service and support has been fantastic.” Kevin Sokolowki, VP of Information Technology, Payworks Payroll Services
“You want the bottom line on Objectworld UC Server®? If I took it away from the employees right this minute, my phone would be ringing off the hook.”Tony Paris, Vice President, CIO, Pioneer State Mutual Insurance Company “Managers love having the flexibility of being able to get all of their messages without having to come into the office. Additionally, voice mail truly becomes voice ‘mail’ — not just telephone tag. We saw productivity improvements almost immediately.”Jerry McConnell, Manager of Technology, Wall Street Systems
